Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York

A huge disapointmt for VtM fans.

Honestly, I think this game could have been great if they had spent more time on it. As it is, I can't endorse it. I'm a huge Vampire the Masquerade fan, I own all the TTRPG books; so it doesn't take much to get me onboard with new VtM content. But this state this game in is a mess. There's not enough time to explore relationships with all the characters you meet. I was even skipped forward past events that I didn't experience in the game and had to peice togeather what happened based on the context of conversations that take place after the fact. The story feels so rushed, both tecnically and in terms of the pacing. The ending is out of left feild, and not in a good way. All of the forshadowing takes place before you even start making decisions, all of which have zero impact on the outcome. This game needed at least another year in development to flesh out a plausible story and introduce multiple endings. At the very least, it could have used a month or two in QA to work out all of the glaring bugs. I really wanted to like this game, but it's just not fun at all. Maybe I will get more out of it on multiple playthroughs; but knowing the ending is always the same and that your choices have little to no impact don't have me in a rush to revisit this mess.
